bdist_appimage¶

This command is available on Linux systems, to create an AppImage application bundle (a .AppImage file); bdist_appimage automates the process.

An AppImage is a downloadable file for Linux that contains an application and everything the application needs to run (e.g., libraries, icons, fonts, translations, etc.) that cannot be reasonably expected to be part of each target system.

Added in version 7.0.

option name	description
appimagekit¶	path to AppImageKit (download the latest version if not specified).
bdist_dir¶	temporary directory for creating the distribution
dist_dir (-d)¶	directory to put final built distributions in (default: dist)
skip_build¶	skip rebuilding everything (for testing/debugging)
target_name¶	name of the file to create
target_version¶	version of the file to create
silent (-s)¶	suppress all output except warnings

This is the equivalent help to specify the same options on the command line:

python setup.py bdist_appimage --help
